The Gardens Race 11 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting
SUDDEN SURPRISE (8) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into second and beaten 3.5 lengths win (15.97) at this track in Grade 5. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Capable of going well again. GOLDEN GORT (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (16.10) at this track. Must be included in calculations. RAINING BOURBON (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. In the money last time at Taree Super Track (17.73) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length third. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. DRINK ROSE (1) warrants respect with the drop in distance.

Has finished seventh at the last two runs, both at Gosford, the latest when beaten 19 lengths behind Federal Senor over 388m. Leading chance on best form.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length third (17.73) over 300m at Taree Super Track. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Gosford (22.03) beating Matt Jet Power in a NG on April 23. This looks too tough.

Fast starter. Latest effort finished 4th on April 17 over 272m at this track behind Young Energy beaten 2.5 lengths (16.10) in a Grade 3/4. Good beginner who will take catching with any luck from on outside draw.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 8th last start over 324m at Richmond Straight (19.13) beaten 20 lengths, behind Tarawi Tank in Grade 5 on January 15. Looks up against it this time.
